    Or is this site sometimes veeeeeery slow and unresponsive? I thought it was my connection at first however it is the same at home and the office.

    Is it just me or do others get this too?

    I dont think the admins wont care, it is more like their site is more successful than they planned and is struggling to cope.

    I am sure they will sort it out.

    Thanks for confirming it isnt just me though

    as taken from wiki


    Pr0n
    Pr0n is Leet slang for pornography.[1] This is a deliberately inaccurate spelling/pronunciation for porn,[16] where a zero is often used to replace the letter O. It is sometimes used in legitimate communications (such as email discussion groups, Usenet, chat rooms, and internet web pages) to circumvent language and content filters, which may reject messages as offensive or spam. The word also helps prevent search engines from associating commercial sites with pornography—which might result in unwelcome traffic. Pr0n is also sometimes spelled backwards (n0rp) to further obscure the meaning to potentially uninformed readers.[19] It can also refer to ASCII art depicting pornographic images, or to photos of the internals of consumer and industrial hardware. Prawn, a spoof of the misspelling, has started to come into use, as well; in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a pornographer films his movies on 'Prawn Island'. Conversely, in the RPG Kingdom of Loathing, prawn, referring to a kind of crustacean, is spelled pr0n, leading to the creation of food items such as “pr0n chow mein”. The television show, Attack of the Show!, has a segment called Gadget Pr0n, in which they review gadgets.

    It's been like it for ages now. The problem is that the admin does not need to upgrade the servers - it is still making him money, and people can still view the forums (even if it slow).

    The best times to visit the forum are when the US is asleep.

    Sometimes it's unbearably slow and other times it's just fine. I find it's best early in the morning for me UK time, so Yeah probably when most of the US are still sleeping.

    I didn't expect you to come out with that.
    You're absolutely right, of course.

    There are server issues every now and then. Sometimes it lasts a few minutes and sometimes a couple of days. I think DP is like second home to many members here. There should be some steps taken to rectify the problem.
